An Australian radio show from 1978.   I heard it on the radio as a repeat in 1984 in someone else's car in the wilds of southern New South Wales, on a geology field trip, where I was particularly susceptible to its psychedelic influences.  The narrator, James Dibble, was the frontman for ABC news from 1957 to 1983 - so while I was there, he was the doyen of establishment newscasters, which makes it even more surreal.

SatB Live in Koln.  Great mix of early stuff through to Juju and some excellent heavy drumming.

TOTP 1984 has Jimmy Somerville singing Smalltown Boy live.  Bloody hell, he was good.

Wreckmeister Harmonies
Wildlife
Whitesnake
White Stripes

Had my Apple Music sorted by reverse alphabetical artist order.  It sort of worked.

Oh, and there were some Beethoven Sonatas performed by Wilhelm Kempff in the middle.

Bruce Springsteen’s “The River”. The sort of thing that, in my youth, I’d have listened to in the dark on my headphones, only then it was Ziggy Stardust. Mind you, it’s 30 years old now.

ETA remarkable (for me) in that, despite it being a double album, there’s only 1 track that, thanks to the wonders of modern science, I routinely skip (I’m a Rocker).

white noise turned to 11, to hide the horrid fireworks, been going for an hour and we have at least 3 hours to go of this smash hit. With 136mill plays on the Tube, it must be a banger.

Daniel Barenboim at the Goldensaal in Vienna - the New Year's Day concert. Jan and I went to a concert there when we visited Vienna - lots of Mozart lollipops in that case. The concert hall adjoins the Bösendorfer showroom, where I spenta  very happy hour or so playing one of their Imperial grand pianos, with all of its 97 keys in place.

And so can his brother!
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.
